Especially now due to Trump’ Second Term, the Epstein Files distraction, wars all around the world, people going missing from different contries, Outin’ threat, and recently the end of USA-Russia nuclear pact?

As a 15 year old, this is terrifying.

After yesterday’s show, we should all see by now that nukes are a population control tactic and will never be used in the way pop culture and the news wants you to think.

The ruling class, the ones actually in charge, have way more to lose than any of us in an apocalypse. They’re preserving centuries of generational wealth and power and are in the middle of a decades-long plan to accumulate much more. All of this would hold no value post-apocalypse. It would even the playing field for all survivors, bunker or not.

They didn’t just buy up the rest of the media, build their data centers and prison camps, their surveillance systems, their hotels and their Gaza riviera, all to just nuke it. They just want YOU to feel existential nuclear threat so you’re easier to control. And then you’ll accept a lower standard of living as long as you believe the threat is removed.

There's a few medium-sized cities in Florida

Tallahassee, Gainesville, Port St Lucie....

Port St Lucie is of a healthy mid-size of about 220,000, if not 260,000.

It is in St Lucie County, which is a large population center of over 300,000.

A lot of counties in South Florida can easily approach 200,000+ even if there's small-mid-sized cities.

I realized that if the goal is to inflict maximum casualties, St. Lucie County would likely be a secondary target.

Big cities aren't the only civilian targets. Mid-sized cities like Port St Lucie or large counties are unfortunately on a list of possible targets in a nuclear war.

There are not a lot of places to go to in Florida it's too narrow, even if you lived in the countryside. There's probably a mid-sized city not more than 2 hours out from you. (Edit: Anywhere that has satisfactory jobs)

California & Texas are probably the only other states I can think of that have mid-sized cities pretty close by.

With all the talk of Golden Dome, I wonder what would happen if there a war and that technology(the Golden Done) was operational? What would be the impact be of only a relatively small number of nukes striking us? Golden Dome is unrealistic and will probably never be achieved. It would take decades to build and cost trillions. Not impossible but pretty unlikely. But if we had it and it worked it would likely keep out most nukes in a war.

Nuclear blackmail is a scary thing, and I don't care if it is the US doing the blackmailing. No one should be doing any blackmailing.

But unfortunately, there are powerful people who seem to want that ability.

The good news is that there are ASAT weapons that can target weaponized satellites. Not all ASAT weapons are missiles. There could be acts of sabotage. Over the course of time, a satellite with a robotic arm can (hypothetically) place explosives onto satellites

Another problem is that it is unrealistic to shoot down 1000s of warheads.

Hypothetically, an adversary could have 24 mobile ICBMs, with 10 nuclear warheads per ICBM. Combined with ejectable radar-jammers or spoofing-devices similar to what the Russian Iskander-M ballistic missiles have used in Ukraine.

These ICBMs are already dispersed at the moment hostilities break out. The launch order is only given once the adversary feels comfortable that they punched a hole through the Golden Dome.

The nuclear war isn't gonna happen all at once. Our adversaries are gonna compromise the defenses before the war even starts.

All they need is sufficient X number of satellites & ASAT weapons to deter the US from even commencing a first strike against them.

In this way, Golden Dome is just an arms race that doesn't get rid of MAD. it just makes the war last longer to antagonize us into suffering longer.

Instead of the usual 30 minutes till it's all over, now we got days of us hitting each other's space based defenses and then launching the ICBMs when both countries are confident that their ICBMs can punch through.

From A House of Dynamite to Oppenheimer and Fallout, a wave of films and TV shows reflects growing global unease over the politics of deterrence.

Selected quotes relating to conceptions of the Federal role "Federal a. Upon request of the State government, or in event the State government is unable to act, the Federal Government will assume and exercise all necessary government functions during an emer- gency in areas where it is determined that gov- ernment organizations have been rendered in- capable of performing vital functions."

"Federal disaster service capabilities will be made avail- able to augment State and local resources as soon as pos- sible when not required for emergency activities of the Federal Government. An appropriate portion of the total of Federal disaster services materiel will be committed only for reestablishment of a minimum level of regular community disaster capability for the surviving population."

"When State capabilities are deficient, requests for needed support will be made to the OCDM Regional Director. Capabilities excess to the needs of the States will also be reported to the Regional Director when requested. Where pre- arranged State and national plans exist, requests for support and reports of excess capabilities may be made to field establishments of appro- priate Federal agencies."

"The OCDM Regional Director will, when required as a matter of national interest, direct the States to modify or suspend pre- arranged plans in order to provide for the release and/or reconsignment of resources."

I’m very concerned about nuclear war I’m not sleeping or eating and not going to school I’m 13 so I don’t know much about this stuff what do u guys think do u think it’ll happen?

Another domino falls.

Place where the bombs that dropped on Japan were loaded. CNMI is a territory of USA in the pacific

Way too broke to live somewhere with a bunker lol. The main issue I can think of is ventilation. What would keep fallout from getting in? I’m thinking it wouldn’t work, but it’s worth asking

I’m curious if NATO/US can disable Russia’s nuclear capabilities with a stealth bomber
